Celebrate New Year’s Eve in style with this faux metal NYE decor, ideal for any backdrop!
Another cardboard craft! Is there anything we can’t make from cardboard? I always have soo many cardboard boxes after Christmas and it always feel so good to be able to repurpose them in some way. Last year, I used some of my boxes to make this cardboard star garland and this year, I decided to use up some to make a New Year’s Eve decoration. Based on the rising Omicron numbers I wasn’t too sure if we’d be able to celebrate with our chums like we’re hoping to, but I thought that either way these would provide a nice backdrop if our plans ended up going digital. I’ve teamed them up with a really affordable star garland from Amazon, as well some DIY christmas decor, and I love how this all looks together. I was really on the fence how to decorate these and glitter is usually a pretty good and classic option for NYE, but microplastics are terrible for the environment and so I went for a rustic and metallic effect instead. Have to say, I’m so glad I did! Keep reading to find out what I used and how I made them…
